Commercial energy audits in Reno.
We audit Reno commercial buildings to find energy waste and guide operating or capital decisions.
Find the waste before you buy the upgrade.
Most commercial buildings are paying for energy they never use. A proper commercial energy audit puts numbers on it: where the waste is, what the fix costs, and what it returns. From there, efficiency consultants sequence the upgrades so the cheap wins pay for the big ones.
The audit also tells you when the answer is bigger than efficiency. High demand charges point at battery storage; aging equipment points at a mechanical replacement that pays back in utility savings. Either way, you decide with real numbers on the table.

What does an energy audit show for a Reno commercial building?
For Reno commercial buildings, an energy audit finds where energy is being wasted and shows which changes deserve attention first. It can uncover control changes, equipment issues, and larger upgrade options. We shape the audit around the buyer’s decision. A basic review can support low-cost operating changes. A deeper audit can test capital projects. An investment-grade audit is for a specific, high-cost measure that needs a closer check of its financial and energy impact.
Use the right Reno rate record
NV Energy’s northern electric schedule includes Energy Efficiency Program and Implementation Rates. Those rates can increase or decrease the monthly energy charge under the building’s normal rate schedule. We use the rate schedule tied to the commercial account when judging an energy measure. The correct rate record changes the cost inputs used to compare control changes, equipment upgrades, and larger capital plans.

MANAGEMENT
Audit level fit
Which commercial energy audit fits a Reno facility?
BEFORE YOU BUY
How are Reno audit findings prepared for a buyer?
ASHRAE Standard 211
STANDARD
We use the commercial audit framework in ASHRAE Standard 211 to guide consistent audit work and reporting. It changes how findings are organized and presented.
Energy use intensity
METRIC
We identify whether energy use intensity is part of the buyer’s goal. That choice changes how building energy performance is tracked in the report.
Capital measure model
MODEL
For a Level Three review, we may use a whole-building or system simulation. The model changes how a proposed high-cost measure is tested.
Permit path
PERMIT ROUTE
If an audit leads to a Reno building project, the City’s Development Services process becomes part of planning. Accepted applications can be tracked and paid through the ONE portal.

QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
What can a commercial energy audit find in a Reno building?
It can identify energy waste, control changes, equipment issues, and capital improvement options. The audit level sets how deeply each option is tested.
Which audit level should a Reno facility choose?
Use Level One for basic operating options, Level Two for a systematic capital review, and Level Three for a specific high-cost measure that needs detailed analysis.
Does the NV Energy rate schedule matter to the audit?
Yes. The northern electric schedule includes an efficiency rate that can raise or lower monthly energy charges. The matched rate changes the cost analysis.
Can an audit support a Reno permit decision?
An audit can define a project that may enter the City’s permit process. Reno directs accepted application tracking and fee payment through the ONE portal.
